90. I would like someone to tell me that if
non-smokers have to pay more for insurance and taxes to provide medical care for smokers, how can it be that after the initial non-smoking craze and tax increases drove millions of people to quit, insurance premiums and taxes went through the roof? Saved any money on it yet?

Another question: who are all these folks who are increasingly becoming addicted to SSRI's? Maybe depressed former smokers getting a new fix? Oh yeah, that's a big improvement, a pandemic of zombies instead of formerly happy puffers. And of course we all know all those pharma drugs are so much cheaper than tobacco, just watch out for the deadly second hand side effects, like homicidal and suicidal impulses.

And to hear the hollering going on, even non smokers are less happy than they were before the whole anti smoking shebang started. Why is that?

:crazy:
